Benjamin Franklin once described New Jersey as "a keg taped at both ends." Monmouth County is conveniently located in the middle of the "keg" with easy access to both new York and Philadelphia. A 40 minute high speed ferry ride connects Highlands, Belford and Atlantic Highlands with downtown Manhattan. If midtown is your destination perhaps you'd prefer to ride New Jersey Transit's North Jersey Cost Line or one of the numerous bus lines. It's an easy drive on the Garden State Parkway or the New Jersey Turnpike to Newark Liberty Airport, Atlantic City Airport, or Philadelphia International Airport. No matter what form of transportation you prefer, Monmouth County has you covered!
